10 Biggest Jokes Currently in the UFC

There are a number of jokes that currently circulate the UFC fanbase, whether they be "ha-ha" funny jokes or jokes that would be serious like, "That is such a joke," in somewhat of a bad way.

Some of these jokes are fresh in our mind and others are old, but sticking around. Here are a list of the 10 biggest jokes currently in the UFC today.

Chael Sonnen Is the "Undisputed Middleweight Champion"

I am a huge fan of Chael Sonnen, and I think it is absolutely hilarious every time he claims to be the real middleweight champion. Every time the man speaks, it is pure gold.

If you have ever watched a Q&A session with Sonnen, fans suck up to Sonnen before finally laying out their answer. 

This joke is fresh in our mind, but come UFC 148 when Sonnen has to back up his words again, we will see how long the joke lasts. Hopefully, he can actually become the undisputed champ.

Nick Diaz and His Use of Special Plants

The MMA Internet community has always joked around about Nick Diaz's use of marijuana, ever since his test failure after his Takanori Gomi fight.

Diaz is very open about his marijuana usage, which eggs on forum browsers on MMA websites. But, the joke has again picked up speed recently.

Following his UFC 143 loss for the interim welterweight title, Diaz failed a drug test yet again. This has fueled more jokes about his love of the "wacky tobacky," even though it is a serious matter.

Wanderlei Silva's Chin

This is more of a serious joke than an actual "ha-ha" joke. 

Wanderlei Silva's chin has been in question for a while now. He's had a hard-fought career, which has seen him take his fair share of blows to the head. I mean, if you train at the Chute Boxe, it's expected that you are going to get knocked out on a day-to-day basis.

So, as much as people make fun of Silva's deteriorated chin, it's an absolute joke that he keeps getting sanctioned fights. He is going to have serious health repercussions if he continues taking huge blows to the head. 

Mike Russow's Hammerfist from Hell

This joke always makes me crack a smile. This hammerfist was so devastating, that Todd Duffee still may not be awake!

In all seriousness, after Mike Russow's comeback knockout of Todd Duffee, he threw an extra hammerfist that wouldn't hurt a fly. The comeback in itself was amazing, but fans of MMA took notice of the hammerfist and ran with it.

Every time Russow fights, the hammerfist is brought up. I have a feeling he will be associated with it for a long time to come.

Fuel TV Content

This is not a funny joke; this is a joke that makes me say, "It's such a joke that they put all this UFC content on Fuel TV and barely anybody has the channel!"

Fuel TV is a great station to be the "home of the UFC." But, there is one big problem; nobody has the channel!

Looking at the numbers for Fuel preliminary cards and fight nights that Fuel TV hosts, it can be seen that their audience is only in the hundreds of thousands (last weekend's Fox prelims only garnered 87,000 views).

Either cable providers need to pick up the channel, or the UFC needs to move their content somewhere else. 

Fat Serra

Matt Serra is a former champion who has not fought in some time, and in that time, he has packed on a few lbs. Not a big deal, but people like to poke fun at Serra.

It's unfortunate that his name is Matt, as it rhymes with fat and makes for an unpleasant nickname. Nevertheless, it's a funny joke that UFC fans will make when Serra's name comes up.

The Weight Class Jokes

The "weight class" jokes used to be funny. That was until they got so overused, they are just annoying now.

Fans rip on guys like Anthony Johnson and Kenny Florian for cutting weight, as they are clearly bigger than opponents when they fight. If I hear another "Anthony Johnson at flyweight" joke, I will go into Hulk-mode (You don't want to see me when I'm angry).

Just let it go. Fighters cut weight in MMA; who cares how much weight they cut to make it?

Roy Nelson's Physique

Roy Nelson is his own biggest critic when it comes to his physique. I mean, the man rubs his belly when he wins a fight.

I will give him credit that he has been losing weight for fights, but he still looks like an average dad with a beer belly (minus the mullet, unless you are in swamps of Louisiana). Still, the man came out to the "Weird" Al Yankovic song "Fat" for one of his fights, so even he is in on the joke.

Split Decision Predictions for Fights

This is not a "ha-ha" joke at all. In fact, it is one of my biggest pet peeves in MMA.

Anybody who predicts a fight to be won by split decision has me at a loss for words. Split decisions are when three judges are in disagreement over the winner. Yes, three people have differing opinions (2-1).

Those who are predicting the fight outcome are an individual. Predicting a fight to go to split decision is like kissing your sister; it can't happen.

So please, from now on, just predict the fight to be won by decision.  

No MMA in New York

The fact that there are over 90 percent of states in the USA that sanction MMA events and New York is one that does not is a complete joke. They are a huge market missing out on tax revenue.

It was recently shot down again in New York, keeping MMA out yet again. Just imagine a fight at Madison Square Garden. That would be huge.

I guess the government of New York doesn't like making money. That's OK, neither do I (sarcasm).
